The Transylvania Trust Foundation warmly invites all to the professional panel “Hidden Patterns: The Visual Language of Networks” by world-renowned physicist and network scientist Albert-László Barabási, held within the framework of the 16th Hungarian Cultural Days of Cluj, on 22 August 2025, at 11 AM, in the Auditorium Maximum of Babeș–Bolyai University (5 Mihail Kogălniceanu Street).

Albert-László Barabási – external member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, honorary member of the Romanian Academy, full member of the Academia Europaea, and director of the Center for Complex Network Research at Northeastern University in Boston – is internationally recognised for laying the scientific foundations of network theory and for transforming our understanding of complex systems, from biology to social networks. His popular science books – such as Linked and The Formula – have introduced broad audiences to the principles and social relevance of network science in an accessible way.

The professional panel will include a Q&A, where audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions. The event will be moderated by Dezső Szenkovics, Dean of Sapientia Hungarian University of Transylvania.

The professional panel will be held in Hungarian, with simultaneous interpretation into Romanian.

The event is part of the CO-VISION project, supported by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union. The project explores the relationship between natural heritage and digital arts, with particular focus on the challenges of climate change and, at a local level, on mapping and interpreting the natural values of the Someșul Mic River.

Free admission.
